I promised colour....here it is.
We bought her on Boxing day, in the snow. She is 31 years old, likes the sunshine and her name is Betty Flo. She is a beauty is she not????
We had our first real outing in her yesterday. Of course, she broke down, on the top of a mountain in Waunfawr looking out over the Llyn Peninsula, Caernarfon castle, The rivals and even out to Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey, so who cares. Its exactly where I would have chosen to stop to admire the view. Just not necessarily blocking a single track lane miles from civilisation....whoops. But after some good advice on bump starting while in 2nd gear rolling down the hill she decided to have a go again. We got so many waves, thumbs up and beeps it was so exciting. We stalled....ooohhhh, about 40 times on most junctions and roundabouts, and when you have your name plastered on the side its not perhaps the best, but smile politely and 99% of the time people will cheer you on. Only one irate, impatient lady gave us a not so friendly hoot.
My shoulders are aching, a small blister on my left hand but I got out at the end of the day and can honestly say it was one of the best days of my life. So there you go, some colour is back.
(Looking out to sea over to Snowdonia)
She is parked up on the Green in Beaumaris, overlooking the sea and mountains. I have had morning coffee sat in her twice this week, a staff meeting and if it is nice tonight I might just treat the hubby to fish and chips and a game of cards.
All is good xxx

Love the VW - the colour, the decor. Very fun.
Looks like you had fun despite the minor inconveniences.

I love Betty Flo!! Isn't she pretty! Phil and I have always wanted our own VW.
Glad you had such a great day despite Flos little "naps" ;)
How fun!...and what a great color!
I'm glad you are back.
Betty truly is a wonderful colour. I can't wait to hear of more of your adventures in her, and she wouldn't be a proper Vdub if she wasn't just the tiniest temperamental.
Good to hear you are finding some colour again. x
Glad to see some colour is back in your life as a Classic camper
